AK Interactive QuickGen US Olive Uniform (AK17074) is a natural and versatile military green designed for miniature wargamers and scale model hobbyists who want fast, high-quality results. Part of the QuickGen Military Range, this colour offers High Coverage, meaning it achieves strong opacity with fewer layers. This helps painters move quickly through basecoats while keeping fine surface details such as pockets, straps and folds crisp and visible. Many historical and modern wargamers rely on this tone as a core uniform colour because it immediately feels authentic on the tabletop.
The paint applies smoothly with both brush and airbrush, flowing evenly without streaking. This makes it ideal for large areas like vehicle panels, jackets or armour plates. Because it covers rapidly, you can shift swiftly to shading, highlights and weathering. Its matte finish pairs perfectly with realistic military styles and responds well to washes, drybrushing and modulation techniques.
Within the Military Range, US Olive Uniform is one of the essential greens due to its balance between warmth and neutrality. It works beautifully with lighter tones such as Field Grey or Desert Yellow for highlights, and it deepens nicely when paired with shadows created by darker greens or even subtle browns and blacks. When compared across paint compatibility charts, this shade often aligns with classic “Olive Drab” colours from other brands, helping painters keep consistent results even when using mixed paint collections.
The formula consists of fine, high-density pigments suspended in a water-based acrylic medium. This combination provides an excellent level of coverage while maintaining a smooth, clean finish. The quick drying time means you can work in fast stages, especially useful for batch painting squads or vehicles. The low odour makes longer painting sessions more comfortable, whether you're working at home or during a dedicated hobby night.
QuickGen colours are designed to be ready to use straight from the bottle, requiring minimal mixing and offering predictable results across different projects. US Olive Uniform embodies this approach perfectly: it works as a standalone basecoat, a foundation for camouflage, or a general-purpose green for gear, webbing and equipment. It sees heavy use in WWII armies, post-war and modern forces, and even in fantasy or sci-fi settings where neutral military tones are needed.
US Olive Uniform is part of the wider QuickGen Military Range, a collection built for speed, ease-of-use and quality coverage. The High Coverage attribute ensures that even large objects such as tanks or APCs receive smooth base layers with minimal effort. Beginners benefit from the forgiving application, while experienced painters appreciate the consistency and reliability of the pigment quality.
Whether you're painting a new army, refreshing older miniatures or working on a detailed scale model, US Olive Uniform offers a dependable and authentic military green that adapts well to different styles and techniques. It combines practical coverage with attractive tone balance, ensuring that the finished results look grounded, realistic and ready for the battlefield.
